If you were to pay for training? What training and how much to get a decent job in I.T?

Lets say you aimed for 55k, what training and what school would you go to?

 

[Scott Larock]

I'm doing a search on job boards specifically for job ads with the term "remote". Lots of companies are actively recruiting for locations that are normally hard to fill by letting people work remotely until the pandemic ends. But I got a feeling tons of people are gonna finesse them and refuse to move in 6 months when forced.

Sql is like that? I see those books all the time before my favorite warez site went down, when it goes back up. I'm just on them.

You can train yourself honestly. The resources are out there. You just have to dedicate the time.

I gotta get a hold of my mind, I'm kinda down right now... can't concentrate feeling sorry for myself.

alot of nikkas need this video but like the 100 other MFs that have ask me questions, It probably wont help

no matter how much info you dump in their lap, they only ask more questions and never jump off the porch

there's always a "but..but.but" and I just dont have the desire to put up with that shyt any more.

either hustle or starve

facts people need to watch that and understand if you really want this shyt you just gotta work

cut out the bullshyt, the excuses all the extra shyt and just do it

success will always come when you be real with yourself and put in the effort

Procrastination and (lack of) self discipline are the two biggest things to battle in this IT game. No one's gonna stand over your shoulder and hold you accountable and life doesn't care about your 'reasons' for not being able to do it. You either grind or you miss out.

This shyt even relevant for brehs who've made progress, but havent reached the promised land.

Sometimes shyt feels like being part of Israelites wandering in the desert.

Gotta remind oneself that its either "hustle or starve"

cot damn right

Life was kicking my ass for a long time and I didnt make excuses and I pulled through...like a MF lol


There's rarely a "right time" to get started in life. So many old friends of mine and family members say a combination of all these excuses and I just SMH.

That's why I keep my good news to myself, because , even though I came from struggling just like they did, they'll feel some type of way if they knew what me and my wife's financial situation is like now. and think they're entitled to hand outs and favors just because we got it.

We had crippling debt, bills for this, bills for that, low income jobs and in my case unemployed on and off for short periods over a span of 2 years. Not once did I phone home asking family for money and all that shyt. Me and my wife stood on our own and got through it slowly but surely.

Nikkas think looking to the sky waiting for a sign or a blessing is gonna get them somewhere.

Action Action Action.

I swear some of these nikkas have to be trolling me when they ask certain shyt over and over again as if the answer is gonna change

Wandering in the desert is exactly what it feels like

Shiiet I havent studied or labbed in a month because I've done everything I set out to do for this year, I got the certs. I got the job and salary I wanted. I been going hard nonstop for almost 2 years, so it is what it is. a nikka just fell back. But I been slowly integrating small study session into my day the past week.

IT will teach you what it means to truly be a self-starter

Sitting around waiting for others to give you the resources and oppotunities out of the goddness of their hearts aint realistic

and truthfully most would squander it anyways.

It's nikkas in here who been "about to get this A+ " for like 5 years now. I just shudder and quickly scroll and put them on ignore if I see them.
Nikkas think bullshyttin with their future is cute

This is one of the main things I've had to realise this year. I got some haters in my own family where you can't tell them shyt and just simply being ambitious is enough to bring out the jealousy and the little slick remarks that can get to you if you're not strong enough, let alone actually achieving tangible results. It hurts but the only person who is gonna save you is the man in the mirror. That's alright though cos I'm waiting for the day when I move the fukk away from here for good and leave them to their own devices and getting more of these certs is helping me achieve that goal.

I was waiting until a particular result to update on what has gone on since my sec+ cert. I will maybe tomorrow.

once again, if anybody needs resources, videos, cheat sheets for the exam let me know.

this is for if folks still doing the 501 exam though

It's nikkas in here who been "about to get this A+ " for like 5 years now.

this was me up until (2015-2019) I got my A+,Net+ last year and my Sec+ this year. Currently studying for my CCNA and RHCSA certification by the end of the year. Fear and self doubt had me frozen. I learn you have ignore that voice that tells you to quit, give up, you aint gone make it anyway on top of the other noise you hear everyday. In other words "Get Out of Your Own Way".
